In Mato, BAP gathered with Seri in their quarters. She was pacing back and forth, chewing her lower lip. “I don’t have a good feeling about this… Sehee unnie and Bang oppa should’ve been here already…”

Zelo went up to her and held her shoulders. “Babe… Relax… They must’ve decided to stay for another day.”

Yet she continued walking. “I don’t think so… I don’t think the oppas will let her stay longer.” she then placed a hand over her raging chest. “Something’s not right Zelo-ah… I can feel it.”

The kids also came with Kekemato. Draco reached up to Himchan while Youngjae carred Kirsten.

“Uncle Channie? I wanna go home… I wanna see mommy…” the boy said.

“Wae?” Himchan asked. “She might be here tomorrow.”

Draco hugged him and sulked. “I don’t think mommy is coming. Even TenTen thinks so too…”

They shifted to the little girl whose eyes have swelled from crying. Daehyun walked up to her and her cheek. “Is that why you’ve been crying?”

She slowly nodded with a pout.

“Aigooo~ Hyung?” he turned to Himchan. “What should we do?”

The oldest BAP member paused for a bit to weigh his options. None of them knows the hostile situation Earth is going through. He was also given an order to not leave Mato until his leader arrives and until the war between Forces and Werewolves is over.

It’s either taking a risk of getting a major scolding from the husbands, or letting his emotions and guilt take over by two kids.

‘Aish! this!’ he sighed and looked over his shoulder. “Draco-ah… Will you hate Uncle Channie if I won’t let you go home?”

“Ani…” the boy shook his head. “I promised mommy and dadas to obey you while they are away.”

‘Draco-ah… You just made it harder for me.’ he blew out an air and looked around.

The rest of BAP also stared back at him, hopeful and pleading, asking to take that risk. They’re closely bonded that feeling concerned all of a sudden for no reason is like a warning device.

“Hyung…” Jongup spoke. “We’ll accept whatever your decision is.”

Himchan gulped. “Okay… We’re going home tomorrow...”

“Komawo Uncle ChanChan…” Kirsten blurted.

He smiled and patted her head. “Welcome…”

----------

In the middle of the Damyang forest, blood covered the forest floor and werewolf corpses lay on the ground. Tension was rising especially that both sides were aggravated. The five remaining Forces and BAP’s leader remained in the clearing, fuming mad. What they thought to be a battle against rabid werewolves turned out to be a fight out of betrayal.

Fists were shaking, eyes burning, and emotions exploding.

“I’m not going down without a fight… Remember that…”

Words that lingered from a werewolf who is now in human form, choking and gasping for air. Minho held him by his neck, raising him off the ground.

“Are you threatening me?” he gritted his teeth. “Shouldn’t you be begging for forgiveness right now?”

The wolf continued with his aggressive smirk. “W-Why… would I?” he wheezed. “I may not have filled my hunger… but I think I just…” his face turned evil. “I just… got my revenge…”

His eyes slowly shifted to that one unique pine tree in the distance.

“AAAHHHHHH!!!” an ear splitting scream came off afterwards.

What they failed to realize, a lone werewolf, the leader’s scout was ordered to hunt you down the moment you stepped into the forest. He was already in human form, wearing a pair of ripped jeans, when he spotted you all alone. It just took him a solid punch at the tree trunk to shake it and let anything on it drop like a fruit.

Minho dropped him and couldn’t believe his eyes after he turned. His vision became tunneled as it focused on your body, falling straight at a werewolf’s arm. “Se…Sehee…”

“NOONNNAAAAA!!!” Taemin pushed them aside and sprinted towards your direction.

“SEHEEEEE!!!” Kris and Yongguk chimed, and left within a millisecond.

Kai teleported but was too late. He only ended up at the foot of the same tree, completely empty.

In the clearing, Tao no longer think twice. He swung his sword and sliced the wolf’s head off. “You talk too much!” he left after that, being followed by Chen.

Unfortunately for Exo and Yongguk, the wolf they’re chasing is the fastest among their enemy. Kris could hardly keep up who was soaring up above, even Tao couldn’t trace him.

Minho, on the other hand, had already sprinted to a different direction. He and Taemin knew exactly where he goes and reads every move he thought.  ‘Taemin-ah! You got him?’

‘Neh! You?’ the younger wolf replied.

‘I saw him already!’ Minho smirked.

While being in the arms of the enemy, it felt like floating in the clouds but in extreme pain. Aside from the fact that you endured hitting branches and twigs while falling, the wolf was running so fast that the wind brushing all over your body was violent and you can hardly breathe from his tight grip. You can’t even explain why your veins burned like being lit on fire. You tried activating your shield but you have gone weak for whatever reason. ‘W-What’s going on?’

‘Taemin-ah!’ Minho called. ‘Ready?’

With that, the wolf panicked. ‘ this ! I’m outta here!’
